BE SECURE: CYBERHACKERS AND FRAUDSTERS ON THE PROWL
Safety on Black Friday KAILIN DANIELS @k10daniels

ith Black Friday around the corner, shoppers are gearing up for the popular shopping spree. However, with the Covid-19 pandemic still looming, online shopping will be on the cards to avoid the chaos and long queues at shopping malls. According to a recent McKinsey & Company consumer sentiment survey, 40% of consumers intend to continue online shopping even when the Covid-19 pandemic is over.
Thomas Pays, CEO and co-founder of digital payments company Ozow, says the sharp rise in online shopping and e-commerce has highlighted the need for innovative technology-driven solutions that allow shoppers to shop and pay safely online. Black Friday deals are running over four weeks at many retailers at Table View and Milnerton shopping malls. Pays says the way to successfully navigate Black Friday responsibly relies on four factors: . Stick to a plan and set a budget. The overwhelming number of deals make it in-
credibly tempting to spend more than you have. Make a list of what you need, familiarise yourself with the available deals, set a realistic budget, and stick to it. . Shop with trusted e-commerce retailers. Trustworthy sites like Takealot can handle large volumes of transactions through a safe, automated checkout process. Most popular e-commerce sites will protect you from online fraud and cybercrime over this busy time. . Don’t trust non-secure checkouts. Checkout security is critical, as it is the most vulnerable point in the shopping process for
cyberhackers to attack, says Pays. A secure encrypted checkout should always have a small padlock icon next to the site’s URL in your browser. . Research the checkout payment options. You don’t need a credit card to shop and pay online. Ozow enables you to pay instantly online with only a bank account, allowing most South Africans to skip the queues and transact safely and hassle-free. Regular Ozow users can speed up their online transaction even further with OzowPIN. V To page 2
